Abstract

ZAINKO, Maria Amelia Sabbag. A gestão do ensino superior e os desafios da sociedade do conhecimento, da informação e da educação. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 1999, vol.04, n.01, pp.23-26. ISSN 1414-4077.

Taking the debates promoted by UNESCO (especially the 1998 World Conference) as a starting point, the author discusses the challenges presented to higher education by the present-day society of knowledge and information. Particularly important for the administration of higher education are the themes of pertinence, quality, and intercultural understanding. The self-knowledge brought about by institutional evaluation is important to guide the actions which demand collective effort.

Keywords : UNESCO; Higher Education; Pertinence; Quality; Intercultural Understanding; Institutional Evaluation.
